Well, I'm back. I don't exactly know where I've been, but it wasn't here reviewing. So for the next week or so you're going to be bombarded with reviews.

With never-before-seen notes, sketches, and photographs taken directly from the visionary director's personal notebook, this book includes everything from her visual inspirations, to step-by-step breakdowns of action sequences, to a behind the scenes look at some of the most pivotal moments in the creation of the film, and much more.Get the inside story - this collectible notebook will be a must-have addition to every Twilight fan's bookshelf!My Review:If you liked the movie Twilight and have any interest at all on how the movie was made...BUY THIS BOOK! The pictures are amazing and so cool. It gives you the basic lowdown on how Twilight was made...from costumes to why 2nd unit filmed what they did. My only real complaint is that it was so small. I think it should have been larger like the Twilight: the Complete Illustrated Movie Companion. It's also an insanely fast read. i had it done within 2 hours. All in all, a great buy.
